"Okay. Let me tell you a little more about the types of dragon you can bond with. I'll start with the rarest."

Spirit Dragon
The rarest and most elusive of dragons, Spirit dragons are an ethereal mixture of swirling mauves and blues. Their flame is the same colour and nobody knows what the effects are of standing in its path. However, nobody is willing to try any experiments either. Spirits are very peaceful dragons and will always try to find another approach to solving a problem other than fighting.

Black Spectrum Dragon
The second rarest dragon, they have all black scales with tricolour spines and wing markings. Black Spectrums are fiercely loyal-but often don't get along well with other dragons, although pets and anything that isn't a dragon is fine.

Gold Dragon
These are also extremely rare. They have brilliant golden colored scales and their spines and horns are only slightly paler. There is a lot of misconception about gold dragons; people seem to think that all golds are queens. Golds, like all the others, can be male or female here.

Silver Dragon
Silvers are supposed to be one of the most beautiful dragons. They are easy-going, but a little too knowledgeable about their own appearance-ie, they can get a little arrogant and conceited at times.

Bronze Dragon
Bronze dragons are seldom seen alone and about the only chance anyone has of bonding with them is from an egg. They are quite shy and have deep bronze scales.

Copper Dragon
Copper dragons are unique among other dragons in that the colour of their spines doesn't match their body colour. Instead, they are a shade of blue; usually royal but occasionally a lighter shade like cyan. Their flame is also blue; unheard of in other dragons. They are easy going but can be territorial so anything dragon like living in the same space with them is not a good idea. Like their higher ranking counterparts, Coppers much prefer their own cave.

Fire Dragon
(Thanks to Firecomet/Skysong Wolf for this dragon idea. Check out her site here.)
Fire dragons are probably one of the more aggressive types of Sarin dragons. They will, however, protect their bondmate even more vigorously than the others. Fire dragons are, despite their feisty nature, sociable and are rarely seen alone. They get on reasonably well with other dragons and very well with non-draconic creatures. Colors are usually a dark red but can be slightly lighter in tone to almost orange.

Blue Dragon
Blue dragons are very outgoing and friendly, and love to share their living space with other cyberpets (this is not a condition for bonding with a blue, however, it does help.) They get on well with everyone and everything and are, in short, a wonderful companion and partner.

Earth Dragon
(Again, many thanks to Firecomet aka Skysong Wolf for this idea. You can visit her site here.)
Earth dragons are mysterious and elusive creatures, especially so because their gaze is rumored to be able to turn someone to stone. Nobody knows whether or not this is true, but there are very few people willing to put it to the test! Earth dragons come in a variety of colors-basically, if it's natural, an Earth dragon can have it. The most common color is green and brown, but there have been rust-colored ones and rumors persist of sand-colors.

Brown Dragon
These are fairly common and generally aren't fussy about who they bond with-but they like someone with a good sense of humor who nonetheless knows how to be serious.

Purple Dragon
The purple dragon is fond of flying, and daring acrobatics. It likes water, unlike most other dragons, and will often be found in oceans or rivers.

Black Dragon
The sleek black loves nothing better than to creep up on people under cover of darkness. The whole purpose to a black's life is "if a person moves, sneak up on them. If they don't, then wait for them to move. And then sneak up on them." They are the practical jokers of dragonkind.

Red Dragon
Despite being the second most common dragon, reds are fond of pretending that they're the wisest dragons that were ever hatched and are never happier than when interfering in everyone's lives, saying "No, you shouldn't do it that way-here, let me do it!" Despite this, however, they are very faithful (if a little pushy at times)

Green Dragon
These are the most common dragons and the easiest to get along with. The typical green philosophy is 'anything for a quiet life'. They will generally agree with everything said, although it is doubtful whether or not they actually do agree, or whether they're even listening.

"So these are the dragons you can bond with," Imogen says with a smile.
"So I don't get a choice?" you ask.
Imogen laughs and shakes her head.
"Sorry. I do have something here to tell you the kind of things you need for each rank, if you're interested. It's here, on the last page of the dragon book. It's not set it stone by any means-but you're pretty much guaranteed the rank if you have the things in here for it." She sighs slightly. "Although I'm afraid you may have come all this way for nothing. See, we aren't accepting any more candidates at the moment. If you have a page and a persona and you really want to bond with a dragon-" here her voice becomes slightly harder, "-there are several abandoned young dragons with Harnal that are desperately in need of homes. It's gotten so that we're thinking of rejecting any future candidates until these dragons have all been readopted."
"Where is Harnal?" you ask, thinking that if you can't get in on the sands you can at least check the abandoneds out. Imogen smiles.
"If you follow that path you should find him," she tells you. You thank her and walk off down the path she indicated.
